What is this book about?

Roxy lives in the forest with her three best friends, who she loves to visit and play games with. Roxy is in a wheelchair, so sometimes it is harder for her to go to the same places and play the same games as the other animals. Roxy and her friends realise that by making a few small changes and working together, they can make the forest a better place for everyone. Roxy teaches us that there are bunches of ways to be more inclusive of those who have a disability so that everyone can join in.

What do young people with disability say about this book?

It is in black ink on a white background. The person has a very big head on top of a much smaller stick figure body. The person's eyes are large and protrude from the side of the head. The eyes have pinpoint pupils. The person has an animated look on their face with a small round open mouth and eyebrows elevated from the top of the head. Freckles are spread across the cheeks, either side of a long nose. Three short pieces of straight hair are sticking up from the middle of the head. The initials EH are written in the bottom right-hand corner.

Review by Elijah

"My favourite character is Brad the Beaver... because he was nice and he was the first friend to include Roxy."
